Sustainable Health Care: One Community At A Time

Our health care system is both more expensive and has lower quality than other industrialized countries. Many describe this as a sick care system because significant is not spent until after you get sick. Communities are now developing alternatives that cost less and move people toward whole health. By focusing on prevention and early intervention we can also drop the costs of health care.

Our speaker is Dale Jarvis, a health care consultant and West Seattleite who has worked at fixing the healthcare system in 20 states since the federal healthcare law passed in 2010. Dale will describe health care reform ‘triples’ and ‘home runs’ that can fit Seattle’s neighborhoods. Join this discussion of a new health care ecosystem for West Seattle.
